Not liberated, abandoned. That's what the actual Ukrainian general staff said.

It could be a rotation too I suppose but I wouldn't just rely on some rando on twitter either

Fair enough. If it is actually meaningful, we'll know soon enough. But I'm not holding my breath.

Such bright sparks we got here. Well too bad for you that if you're in no position to take one small town after nine months of fighting, trying to roll back into Ukraine's major cities with the old relics you've got left would be a sight to see if the thought itself wasn't so pathetic. May many more Russians try their luck at deserting the army in the future.

If by man's work you mean being sent to conduct human wave attacks to slowly attrit defenders and take small amounts of territory, I'm sure plenty of poor, desperate Russians will be willing to take on your offer.

Its about 400 troops per Battalion, or about 70,000 troops. Which is less than the 200,000 or so they have if I recall. So not giving too much away at all.

On Twitter, I see NAFO pushing propaganda that little dogs in army hats could defeat the Russian army. While there’s plenty to criticize about the Russian army, the idea that little dogs could defeat them, is frankly preposterous. Anyone who’s been to an animal shelter would know that little dogs do not have opposable thumbs with which to grasp moden weaponry. Even generously assuming that NAFO could be obliquely referring to pit bulls (note: there is NO evidence of this), pitbulls struggle to reach 250 psi of bite strength. While this might hurt an unarmored civilian pretty significantly or even kill a young child, a modern infantry company would likely be able to incapacitate or kill even a small platoon of pitbulls before they did much damage, and there is no evidence that Russia is fielding young children in battle. Moreover, little dogs simply have no answer to tanks or other armored vehicles. Even the largest dogs cannot penetrate a mere passenger car. I find it highly unlikely that they could penetrate the armor of any tank. This kind of obvious lying by the pro-Ukrainian side really makes one wonder what else they might be lying about.

175 brigades would be over 850,000 men so yeah I'm assuming he misspoke or it's an incorrect translation.
